Fermion masses and mixing in intersecting brane scenarios
Chamoun, N.; Khalil, S.; Lashin, Elsayed;
Abstract
We study the structure of Yukawa couplings in intersecting D6-branes wrapping
a factorizable 6-torus compact space T^6. Models with MSSM-like spectrum are
analyzed and found to fail in predicting the quark mass spectrum because of the
way in which the family structure for the left-handed, right-handed quarks and,
eventually, the Higgses is `factorized' among the different tori. In order to
circumvent this, we present a model with three supersymmetric Higgs doublets
which satisfies the anomaly cancellation condition in a more natural way than
the previous models, where quarks were not treated universally regarding their
branes assignments, or some particular branes were singled out being invariant
under orientifold projection. In our model, the family structures for the left,
right quarks, left leptons and the Higgses arise from one of the tori and can
naturally lead to universal strength Yukawa couplings which accommodate the
quark mass hierarchy and the mixing angles.
